The first round of the CBA 2021-22 playoffs gave birth to a team that swept through the promotion 2-0, but what people did not expect was that it would actually be Jilin team that kept a clean sheet on Beijing! It should be known that even if the performance of the regular season is not satisfactory, Beijing Shougang, which makes up the Galaxy Battleship, is ranked seventh in the regular season after all, and the Jilin team, as a team that often plays the role of "giant killer", is more regarded as a spoiler in the playoffs. Even in the first game, Jilin Who won the first victory in the 7-man rotation is still not optimistic, and I believe most fans will think that this round of competition will at least be dragged into the third game. However, that's how the cold is happening!
In this battle, the two teams intersected, fist to flesh, played a suffocating defensive battle, the two teams combined to get 155 points, although Jilin won, but the shooting rate was only 36.5%, Beijing hit the rate is as low as 31.6%, three-point shooting rate is not even less than 20%. In this campaign, as the only foreign aid of Jilin Dominique Jones once again played the engine of the whole team's attack, the 4th quarter of the game fought hard for a full 47 minutes, the whole game rested for less than 1 minute, got 21 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, and single-handedly led the team to pick out the Beijing team with luxurious four foreign aides.
Behind Jones, is the full support of "double ginger", Jiang Yuxing and Jiang Weize each got 18 points, especially the 18 points of Jiang Weize who came off the bench came from the second half, each point is very critical, whenever Beijing starts to try to chase points, Xiao Jiang can always take the knife to continue the score for Jilin and stabilize the situation. Jiang Yuxing was named the MVP of this game, and in the post-match interview, he humbly said that it was Jones who led the team to defeat the strong enemy, in fact, he also played for 42 minutes. Compared with the 7-man rotation in the previous game, Jilin has one more rotation in this battle, but the playing time of the main players is still very high, and it is almost by willpower to survive the four quarters of the battle, which is worth admiring!
For Beijing Shougang, the confident departure ended with a first round out, and there are too many places worth summarizing this season. The role of Jeremy Lin at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the first battle is obvious to all, but the second game, which was originally to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, could only withdraw from the battle sequence because of the breakthrough. Gibson once led the team to chase points after coming off the bench, and the plus-minus of +13 can see his importance, especially the three-point shot he hit after grabbing an offensive rebound in the last 40 seconds, helping Beijing to rekindle hopes, but unfortunately, he lost to time in the end.
Li Muhao and Fan Ziming did not take too much advantage in the internal competition, and the three-point projection of Zhai Xiaochuan, Raymond and Zhu Yanxi in the key point-chasing period to get a good opportunity to shoot in the bottom corner was always fruitless and worth pondering. At the end of the game, the sideline camera swept to Qin Xiaowen, the general manager of the audience, only to see Qin Xiaowen with a solemn and thoughtful look. Not surprisingly, the offseason Beijing team will be a big change, after all, it has been a long time since her three-year appointment, and instead of the expected championship, it is gradually drifting away from the set goal.
Finally, the applause was given to the Jilin team, the last time they advanced to the second round was back in 2004, when the team was led by the "Tiger King" Sun Jun, and Jiang Weize was still a doll of three years and nine months. Even if there are only 7 or 8 rotations, what if there is only a single foreign aid? Jilin writers belong to their stories. At the end of the game, the scene of all the players celebrating wildly around Jones was enough to go down in the history of the CBA, and the only fly in the ointment was that coach Wang Han did not give his own dance. Facing Guangsha in the second round, what kind of surprises will Jilin bring us? Let's wait and see.
